Longtime Player
Though most people assume Nintendo launched with the invention of the Gameboy, the company is actually much older than you think. It was founded in 1889! However, things looked very different from how it is today. The game empire originally sold playing cards before making some major changes. It wasn't until the 1970s that they launched computer and video gaming.
Pledge to PR
The Pledge of Allegiance might be a symbol of American Patriotism now, but it once was just a simple PR stunt. Written by Francis Bellamy, it came from a contest. This contest would help promote sales of the children's magazine Youth's Companion. The version we know today has undergone quite a few rewrites from that original one, but it still rings true for the red, white, and blue!
